Compliance In Focus

This webinar will provide clinical research professionals with an understanding of safety oversight for clinical studies, including regulatory requirements and best practices. The presentation will include a discussion of the FDA’s Guidance on the Establishment and Operation of Clinical Trial Data Monitoring Committees, and help attendees understand the differences between Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs), Clinical Events Committees (CECs), and Medical Monitors. Professionals at research sponsors, CROs, sites, and IRBs will learn when each type of safety oversight is recommended and how to provide effective, efficient safety monitoring. Participants will also hear from a DSMB Chair about their experiences and the important impact of safety groups to research studies.

For safety oversight, what steps can be followed to incorporate Quality Assurance into Data Safety Monitoring Boards, Clinical Events Committees, and Medical Monitoring? Take a look at these four tips:

1. Follow Thoughtful Procedures
2. Gain Consensus and Implement a Charter
